What is Cosplayer Alpheana Omega’s dream Superpower?

Stunning costumes, with an eye for detail into every intricate design, cosplayer Alpheana Omega does a fantastic job looking like every character she cosplays. Find out how she got into the world of cosplay and the superpower she has always dreamed of having as we catch up with her below.

Hi Alpheana, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. Please share with us a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Hello and thank you for having me! I’m Alpheana and I’m a 21 year old cosplayer from the North East United States. But when I’m not cosplaying, I’m a stay at home mother and wife. My fiancee and I have been together for coming up on 6 years in April and my daughter is 6 months old. I also like watching the Cooking Channel and playing with reptiles and cats.

When did you develop an interest in cosplay and did you expect it to turn into a hobby?

Actually, my father was a cosplayer when I was born. Well technically he was a Live Action Role Player which is very closely related. I grew up with nerd things as well as costumes and props so I guess cosplay is just in my blood. I have a very eclectic range of talents and hobbies that I do in bursts, but cosplay is the only thing I’ve done consistently. I suppose it is because it involves so much of what I love like prop making, acting, modeling, meeting new people, watching anime, playing video games, etc.

What are some of the challenges cosplayers usually face?

I’m not a representative of the cosplay community so I can only really speak for myself. My main challenge is not biting off more than I can chew. My list of potential cosplays is through the roof and I have three closets full of cosplays that still need to see the light of day. Furthermore, I feel the need to cosplay multiple characters a day at a convention which involves awkward changes in the car at random parking lots and layers of makeup over layers of makeup. Then I’ll see a costume at a convention, ask the cosplayer about it, binge watch the show or binge play the game, and then decide I HAVE TO COSPLAY EVERYONE FROM THIS EVER OR I’LL DIE.

Which characters have you enjoyed cosplaying so far?

I enjoy every one of my characters otherwise I wouldn’t be cosplaying them, however the ones I most enjoy are Harley Quinn and Jinx from League of Legends. You can do so much with their crazy and silly attitude. As my acting teacher once said “there are no small roles, only small actors” and I believe this translates well to cosplay. There are no small costumes, only small cosplayers. To get the full impact of a character, you have to become over exaggerated – especially when taking photos. If I don’t hurt after a shoot, I’m not doing it right. It’s extremely easy to exaggerate Harley and Jinx. They’re just plain old fun!

Does it take a lot of work to create the costume and props, as well as the makeup to get into character?

Of course it takes a lot! I don’t know about others, but I dedicate hours into sketching and researching each of my characters to get every detail. I pose in the mirror to get their aura correct and I make the costume while researching as well. Hours and hours of videos on the character as well as tutorial videos to increase my knowledge of the craft.

If you could have superpowers for real, which will you want to have and why?

I would 100% want to be able to shape shift! I’ve decided on this power since I was a wee little girl. Think about it – you want to fly? Turn into a bird. You want to breathe under water? Turn into a shark or even a mermaid. Are you captured? Turn into a mouse or another person. It’s hard not to abuse this power, but I do believe it is the most useful.

What are some of the common misconceptions about cosplay?

I feel a lot of common misconceptions are that cosplayers do nothing but cosplay. For example, a lot of the times when I get a message and I don’t respond to it within a few hours, the person will assault me either with insults or spam. I feel like cosplayers are looked at more of living dress up dolls and not as humans just like everyone else. It’s very often that someone will comment something gross on a photo and refer to me as “she” instead of “you” which implies that they don’t acknowledge that I am running the page. I guess my word of advice for people commenting would be “Remember we can see EVERYTHING you say about us” and “We are human. We have lives. We have feelings. We poop just like you.”

Are there any events you will be attending in the coming months ahead?

Actually, I’ve got a pile of cosplay pieces thrown about for this weekend’s convention as I do this interview My for-sure events coming up are Hartford Comicon and PAX East. I will definitely be going to other conventions, but none of them are set in stone. A lot of things aren’t set in stone once you have a child. I guess they’re more set in baby food….

It’s a great pleasure to feature you on on SimplySxy, Alpheana. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

The word “sexy” is all relative and is all matter of preferences. For example, I’m not very into the standard “sexy” that society has defined. So everyone can be sexy as long as they find themselves sexy or someone else finds them sexy. My definition of “sexy” is someone or something that is or has sex appeal. This could be to one person or multiple people.

Thank you again for having me! It’s been great!
